The Language of the Flowers was a popular method to express feelings where words might be improper, but did you know other means of doing so? Some ladies used their parasols, as well as their fans, gloves, and hankies to flirt with a gentleman (or alternatively, tell them to shove it!). — Bree

“This boy, then. He wasn't new. Wasn't one of the worst people in the common room, those rotten rich boys - like Mr. Jailkeeper - who could not fathom a world beyond their own farts. Was a good working class lad, so he'd heard. Had a bit of a weird looking face, and a bit of a weird thing for preaching. Still.”

All my graduated ladies may have known her at some point or another, depending on how social she is outside of Ravenclaws.

Just thread with Sweetie Whitledge because she should get more house to house bonding (that and I'm pretty sure you've never had a thread with this amazing girl and you should and you know you want to).

Acacia Ruskin - She's pretty open-minded regarding halfbreeds (and blood status) and they're in the same house so for sure, I can see them being good friends. Sherry was probably quite upset when the halfbreed ban came to be - so we could work around that?

Ace Lukeson - Depending on what he's into regarding school, they could have been study!buddies at leasy (maybe he could have helped her with her OWLs)

RE: Graduated Ladies - She's not social at all, really. Even to Ravenclaws. She's too invested in her parents business and her own studies though she'd be friendly enough to not just outright ignore anyone.

Sweetie Whitledge - We can definitely thread these. I'm not 100% sure on how they'd get along but it's worth a go.

For Acacia: They could have a thread when she returns after the winter break?

For Ace: He would at least have known the basics from the common core classes, and was good enough to get into the Ministry work. So he could have certainly tutored her. We could thread out some of that, if you want.

For Claire: The fog wasn't always around this summer, and Claire was in London for a bit.

Edward and Argus would definitely know eachother, they would have been Aurors together albeit at different points in their careers. While the two of them would not get on politically/socially there could be a grudging professional respect between the two of them. Argus and Edward could have worked together on cases before Edward transferred out of the Aurors. It would be interesting to see how they interact outside of their professional relationship.

For Charles

Your boss here and he's a boss that likes hardworkers. Maybe we can have that discussion about his future goals and ambitions within the department. Edward could even be a role-model type figure for Charles.

Edward/Argus:
I think these two would be really interesting to thread. They'd definitely have opposing views but I see Argus having respect for him professionally.

He's currently locked up at the Ministry for assaulting/effectively torturing his daughter so it's highly possible we could do something there.

Edward/Charles:
Gosh yes please! I'd love to play out some work related stuff especially regarding his promotion. Charles excels at his job and would have made a great auror if his tempremant was right - but he is a superb Hit Wizard.

I was going to have him promoted on or just after his birthday so if you want to work some stuff around that, we absolutely can!

We could start with Charles speaking to Edward via owl and arranging a meeting?

Oliver Devereaux could be a friend of Andrew's? The same age and both Ravenclaws, and Oliver is a muggle solicitor so pretty involved in the muggle world. Anti-veela but wouldn't bother to yell about it.

Maximiliaan De Vries has diamond mines in South Africa so might have come across the Browns before? Or Durant, but Max is racist af.

Tybalt & Tommy: Thomas is going through a lot right now and is very close to leaving Quidditch entirely. I think these two could have some sort of civility between one another - especially due to their careers. Maybe if they both leave, they'll have common grounds for friendship.

Woopy & Aubrey - Erm, heck yes to always yes?!

Jemima & James - I can definitely see these two getting along.

Oliver & Andrew - This could work. He's second-guessing his entire marriage rn which would be fun to explore.
